When should you pick the apples off Japanese apple tree?

There is no Japanese Apple tree species. Japan is not the native region for apple trees. Japan does grow a number of apple cultivars, the most popular of which include Fuji, Tsugaru, and Jonagold. Apples are typically picked in the fall when they are ripe and have developed their full flavour. The harvest time of Japanese apple cultivars can vary depending on the specific cultivar and the region in Japan it grows, but generally, apples are ready to be picked between September and October. To determine the ripeness of an apple, you can gently twist it on the stem. If the apple comes off easily, it is ready to be picked. You can also check the colour of the apple. When the apple is ripe, it should have a deep, vibrant colour.
